I'm mostly curious how a sponge can play chess.
By absorbing what is around it and squeezing it back out all over the chess board.
Bat wings must make it difficult though, they must knock over a lot of pieces when trying to move one.

You guys sound like a bunch of circle jerking dorks trying to figure out what women are like - and that's being charitable.

I played a guy once who would reach for the piece he was going to move in a very dramatic, overacting sort of way and put in down in the same manner. The more threatening he seemed to think the move, the more dramatic the picking up, setting down motion picking it up over his head and plopping it down with a satisfying thud. It was kind of comical, kind of annoying, but at the time I thought, very boyish.

No girl that I have met in my country has a least interest in chess!
Watch kindergarten children on the playground. This will clear up any confusion regarding why most females prefer NOT to play chess.
Simply put, little girls like to talk when they play Barbie, while boys make crash - bang - explosion sounds with legos. Chess is a NO talking game. Great for boys, pure torture for girls, in general, of course. :)
Does this "crash bang" theory also apply to female musicians? At least to drummers?

Oh, cool, let's talk about rad female drummers, like Palm Olive, Mo Tucker, Yoshimi P-We, and Janet Weiss.
Meg White?
No, she's Mo Tucker-lite. Of course Yoshimi blows away everyone; I've nary seen a more impressive sight than her and her co-horts slamming drums for a straight hour or so. Helluva show.

At chess tournaments, it often takes a Darwinian angle: the slowest of the herd gets stuck with the bar tab.

Who is the present women's world chess champion?
Eris_Discordia
Hou Yifan.
Thanks:)
Yes, Hou Yifan is pretty, though that's obviously a subjective statement

Funny how many guys think they can answer this question or know the answer to this question.

Lots of fancy ideas about this but generally speaking women just aren't up to it. It takes peace and quiet (women don't do this), it take depth of thought (women don't do this), It takes strategic planning (women don't do this), it takes patience (women don't do this), it takes cunning, now thats where the theory breaks down!!!!!!!!
Honey...when a singer or actor or a hunky model youre smitten about asks you for a game of chess. I bet youll play no matter how little you know about the game. har har har..ehem..har har
Another male perception.

Listen to yourself. Like I said, lighten up
When in a hole stop digging.

Do women enjoy hats? I don't see many women wearing hats.
I'm afraid you take yourself far too seriously. You have a severe case of verbal diarrhoea.
